Great, thanks for the loopstats.
For the included loopstats, I believe "Alta" was among the ones on which
you were running windows 7 + NTP... Would you mind confirming which
setting you have for your timezone? (since I'm reasonably certain I know
what the timezone menus would look like)

Windows has more than one entry for most UTC offsets (DST schedule
varies by hemisphere, country, some don't have summer time at all, etc.)
... so the timezone I personally have selected is the UTC option without
a summer time adjustment (never set to UTC+01 / BST)
... Also, curious what you mean when you say you have "wall clock" time
displayed (UTC internally) ... ?

=================================================
Sarah,
PC Alta is Win-7/64, with a GPS/PPS ref-clock using Dave Hart's
serialPPS.sys device driver. The time-zone on all my PCs is "London,
Edinburgh, Dublin", which implies GMT (i.e. UTC) in the Winter and BST -
British Summer Time - (UTC+1) in the Summer. I.e.
http://inkushi.freeshell.org/bst.png
What I mean by wall-clock time is that I have the "standard" settings in the
control panel, i.e. telling Windows that I am located in Edinburgh so that
the time displayed by normal applications alters with the season, and that
the time agrees with normal wall-clock time. This is nothing special, and
how almost all PCs in the UK would be set. I mean that I have /not/ set
"Casablanca" where there both Summer and Winter are UTC.
I did have one PC set to "UTC only" and NTP ran equally well on it. As I
mentioned, internally Windows runs on UTC, and a program can interrogate
that time. Windows also provides offsets so that UTC can be converted to
local (wall-clock) time for display within applications. NTP uses the
internal UTC time and is unaffected by time-zone or seasonal changes.
Cheers,
David
